3.0 - week three

[afflictionmods]

WEEK THREE

Last night might have been exhausting for any number of reasons - maybe it was the emotional

toll of dealing with those ghosts, or maybe you stayed up too late after watching Jim Shrok. Who knows, but Saturday is over, even if some of you haven’t quite left it behind and half spirits that are still hanging on, tethered to you and weighing you down…

But that’s not going to stop a new week from starting. There’s no breaks in an eight week course.

There’s very little fanfare to the start of your third week of the course, though it does seem like the fog has lifted even more. It’s a bit more of a trek down the abandoned streets of Estelline, but surely a mile is walkable? Or you could grab a bike or try to hotwire one of those cars in the mall parking lot… Whatever you plan to do this week is up to you. All you know is you've got some new locations to explore.

As always, Florence and Lorelei are available.

SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY

TASK LIST


( OOC Note: Luci, Mutsu, and Mae will each receive a small roomba! Congrats on the successful egg drop. It's a tiny little friend that cleans extra well, though this also means its trash compartment is a little smaller so it'll need to be cleaned more often. )

[ Hey??? Suddenly Hien gets a face full of hot sauce shirt before he pulls it away to see the design in full. ]

Can't believe that worked.

[partymagician]

[ Whatever reaction Fai had is now gone and replaced with a smirk. ]

Take in the moment. I'm sure you feel very lucky right now.

[selfconcept]

Not really.

[ Yeah, he just dismisses it like that. But. ]

But it's nice seeing that side of you too.

[partymagician]

What side of me?

[ That side of him doesn't exist and he refuses to acknowledge it!

He throws the other shirt at Hien's face. ]

[selfconcept]

You having the audacity to throw things at my f--

[ That sure is a shirt over his face!! ]

You rude boy.

[partymagician]

I never said I was a nice boy, did I?

[ He laughs, clearly amused. ]

[selfconcept]

[ He throws the shirt back at Fai's face. But whether he dodges, or hits the shirt out of the way, Hien will be up close in his face with a quieter voice than usual: ]

I like it better that way.

[partymagician]

[ That just earns Hien a smile as Fai reaches out to lightly tug on his shirt, a mischievous look in his eyes. ]

Do you now? I had no idea.

[selfconcept]

Well.

[ Hien gives Fai a small peck on the nose. ]

Now you do.

[ He attempts to free himself from Fai's hold on his shirt so that he can resume unpacking. ]

[partymagician]

[ Oh.

It's such a small, affectionate gesture that it makes Fai's heart beat wildly in his chest as he lets go of Hien's shirt. All he can do for a moment is stand there and stare at Hien. ]

...Find anything else interesting?

[selfconcept]

Hm...

[ He opens another box. It has a lot more smaller items inside of it. ]

I see a microphone--oh, this must be Gentaro's.

[ Even though he calls him Ichiro anwyay. ]

And a little charm thing. Cute shamrock. And. Hm.

[ He tries on the fake red glasses and turns to Fai. ]

How do I look?

[partymagician]

[ A microphone... does Gentaro sing? Fai watches curiously as he pulls out the shamrock charm and then the glasses. ]

Absolutely charming.

[ He laughs. ]

[selfconcept]

An absolutely charming nerd, right?

[ ...

He takes them off and walks over to Fai to put the glasses on him. ]

They suit you better.

[partymagician]

Really? Do you like how they look?

[ He even does a little pose for Hien. ]

[selfconcept]

Yeah. You're really cute with them.

[ Silly Fai. ]

[partymagician]

[ Fai rolls his eyes, taking the glasses off and putting them to the side. ]

Hien, please... I haven't been cute since I was a kid.

[selfconcept]

Well, you're cute now. Sorry. Nothing you can do about it.

[ Anyway. ]

Oh, I got the weird screwdriver and a mayo spray. After the mayo I'd all used up, I'm gonna use it as a water spray bottle.

[partymagician]

I hope you don't plan on spraying me with that bottle.

[ Is that a thinly veiled threat? Maybe. He's got to refute those cute claims somehow. ]

[selfconcept]

Oh, I will.

[ hien: that was a threat? ]

I can guarantee it too.

[partymagician]

Then I'll find a hose and spray you back when you least expect it.

[selfconcept]

Good luck finding a hose.

[ He will not allow himself to be sprayed!! ]

Anyway, that's all I got out of my boxes. Surprisingly, no grapes this time. What about you?

[partymagician]

Just a few other random things here and there, but that's all.

[ The heart patch that hits a little too close to home and that text to speech device again... ]

[selfconcept]

Maybe all my grapes went to you.

[ He actually doesn't think so, but it's fun to think about. ]

I'd say you keep getting weirder things than I do. And I had a rock.

[partymagician]

I'm the fun, eccentric one out of the two of us. It makes sense that they would give me cooler things.

[ Sure, Hien said "weirder", but Fai is going to add his own little spin on it. ]

[selfconcept]

Yeah, you're one of the most fun people here.

[ Does Fai enjoy walking into that trap. ]
